Figure 2-4. Extending and Mounting the Outer Rails
Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack
Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with hooks and square, spring-loaded
pegs to fit into the square holes in your rack.
Installing the Outer Rail
1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail.
2. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.
3. Hang the hooks on the front of the outer rail onto the square holes on the front of the
rack. If desired, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack.
4.
Pull out the rear of the outer rail, adjusting the length until it just fits within the posts of
the rack.
5. Hang the hooks of the rear section of the outer rail onto the square holes on the rear of
the rack. Take care that the proper holes are used so the rails are level. If desired, use
screws to secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.
Note:
The figure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers at the bottom
of the rack first.
Stability hazard
. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be
bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack
can cause the rack to tip over.
